See accompanying notes to financial statements 6 CREATIVE HOST SERVICES, INC. Notes to Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2000, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2001 and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Net income per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents because of their antidilutive effect. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HISTORICAL MATTERS, THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN THIS COMMENTARY ARE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, STATEMENTS CONCERNING ANTICIPATED TRENDS IN REVENUES, THE FUTURE MIX OF COMPANY REVENUES, THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO REDUCE CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL REVENUES, THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO REDUCE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL SALES, AND ANY POTENTIAL FOR INCREASES IN NET INCOME AND CASH FLOW. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN SUCH FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE THE INABILITY TO EXPAND THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS (WHETHER BY ACQUIRING OTHER BUSINESSES OR OTHERWISE) AND TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AWARDED UNDER EXISTING CONCESSION AGREEMENTS, POSSIBLE EARLY TERMINATION OF EXISTING CONCESSION CONTRACTS, POSSIBLE DELAY IN THE COMMENCEMENT OF CONCESSION OPERATIONS AT NEWLY AWARDED CONCESSION FACILITIES, THE NEED AND ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED MANAGEMENT , THE NEED TO OBTAIN CONTINUING APPROVALS FROM GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AUTHORITIES, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY POTENTIAL MERGER OR ACQUISITION OF EXISTING AIRPORT CONCESSION OPERATIONS, AND THE PRIOR AND POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On November 11, 2000, the Company arranged for a $2,500,000 line of credit with First National Bank of San Diego bearing interest at 0.25% below the Bank's reference rate. The Bank's reference rate was 6% at September 30, 2001. On August 1, 2001, the Company obtained a $1,200,000 three year note from First National Bank of San Diego bearing interest at 9%, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company's then outstanding 7% Convertible Debentures. This resulted in the reduction of long term debt but an increase in current liabilities due 7 to the $400,000 current portion of the $1,200,000 three year note. At September 30, 2001, this was the main factor causing the Company to be in violation of the covenant of its loan agreements with First National Bank of San Diego requiring the Company to maintain a minimum current ratio of .90:1.00. The Company's current ratio at September 30, 2001 was .71:1.00. First National Bank of San Diego has agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies as a result of that breach and will expect the Company to be in compliance on December 31, 2001. The Company expects to be in compliance by December 31, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $1,400,000 available from its line of credit with First National Bank of San Diego. The Company expects cash flow from operations combined with the availability of the line of credit to be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. However, the Company will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing in order to complete construction of new airport concession bids awarded to the Company, including $1,600,000 to pay for construction expenses associated with the Newark, New Jersey bid awarded to the Company on November 1, 2001, and to pay for any acquisitions of complementary businesses that the Company may pursue. OVERVIEW The Company commenced business in 1987 as an owner, operator and franchisor of French style cafes featuring hot meal croissants, fresh roasted gourmet coffee, fresh salads and pastas, fruit filled pastries, muffins and other bakery products. The Company currently has 4 restaurant franchises that operate independently from its airport concession business. The restaurant franchise business has never been profitable for the Company. The Company has not sold a new franchise since 1994. In 1990, the Company entered the airport food and beverage concession market when it was awarded a concession to operate a food and beverage location for John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, which is currently operated by a franchisee. In 1994, the Company was awarded its first multiple concession contract for the Denver International Airport, where it was awarded a second concession in 1994 and two subsequent concessions in 1995. The success of the franchisees operating the Orange County and Denver International Airport concessions prompted the Company to enter into the airport concession business. Since 1994, the Company has opened 95 concession locations at 24 airports. In 1996, the Company was awarded its first master concession contract for the airport in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where it has the right to install and manage all food, beverage, news, gift and other services. As a result of this transition in its business, the Company's historical revenues have been derived from three principal sources: airport concession revenues, restaurant franchise royalties and wholesale sales from its food preparation center. These revenue categories comprise a fluctuating percentage of total revenues from year to year. Over the past six years, revenues from concession operations have grown from 59% of total revenues in 1995 to 100% of total revenues in 2001. The Company had working capital (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $(875,500) compared to a working capital surplus of $4,554,856 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Capital improvement costs incurred to meet the requirements of new airport concession contracts and the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. have placed demands on the Company's working capital. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, the Company raised $6,325,332 through the sale of its Common Stock in private placements made during the year and the exercise of stock options and stock purchase warrants, and borrowed an additional $2,000,000 through the issuance of 7% Convertible Debentures. A substantial percentage of the 462,000 outstanding warrants issued during the Company's initial public offering were exercised at $5.40 per share, resulting in additional capital of $2,313,900. On the other hand, the Company utilized $6,500,000 of capital to pay for the purchase of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. in October 2000. As of September 30, 2001, $1,100,000 of the 7% Convertible Debentures and the related accrued interest had been converted into 1,296,613 shares of common stock. On August 1, 2001, the Company retired the remaining $900,000 balance of the 7% Convertible Debentures and the related accrued interest. In order to accomplish this, the Company obtained a $1,200,000 three year note from First National Bank of San Diego, California. This note was issued with no pre-payment penalties and is not convertible into the Company's common stock. The Company received the final contract award for two concession locations in the Newark, New Jersey International Airport from the New York, New Jersey Port Authority on November 1, 2001. The Company expects 8 renovations to begin in the 4th quarter of 2001, with a prospective opening date sometime in the first quarter of 2002. Total renovation expenses for the two locations combined are expected to be approximately $1,600,000. The Company will need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to complete construction of this facility. The Company has also bid on an additional concession location at Los Angeles International Airport. In this regard, the Company will have additional capital requirements to the extent that it wins additional contracts from its current and future airport concession bids. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth for the periods indicated selected items of the Company's statement of operations as a percentage of total revenues. Since selling expenses and depreciation and amortization were not shown separately in 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company has restated the results of operations for 1998, 1999 and 2000 by separately classifying selling expenses, occupancy expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. The following ratios have been restated accordingly.
Nine Months Ended Fiscal Year Ended December 31 September 30 ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- 1998 1999 2000 2000 2001 -------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Revenues: Concessions 95% 98% 99% 99% 100% Food Preparation Center Sales 4 1 1 1 0 Franchise Royalties 1 1 0 0 0 Total Revenue 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Cost of Goods Sold 30 32 31 32 29 Gross Profit 70 68 69 68 71 Operating Costs and Expenses: Payroll and Employee Benefits 34 33 32 32 32 Occupancy 16 16 15 15 15 Selling Expenses 7 8 8 8 9 General and Administrative 5 3 6 3 5 Depreciation and Amortization 4 6 6 6 7 Interest Expense 1 5 2 2 2 Provision for Income Taxes 0 0 0 0 0 Other (Income) Loss 0 0 0 0 0 Net Income 3% (3)% 0% 2% 1%
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 REVENUES. The Company's gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $23,200,659 compared to $15,382,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $7,818,012 or 50.8%. Revenues from concession activities increased $7,893,780 ($23,114,548 as compared to $15,220,768) while food preparation center decreased by $120,346 ($5,620 as compared to $125,966) and franchise royalty revenues 9 increased by $417 ($36,330 as compared to $35,913). The increase in concession revenues was principally attributable to the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. and the opening of new locations. COST OF GOODS SOLD. The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $6,655,323 compared to $4,928,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased to 28.7% from 32.0%. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $15,726,780 compared to $9,879,881 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Payroll expenses increased to $7,425,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $4,969,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, payroll declined to 32.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 32.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in the absolute payroll dollar amount is due to the addition of Gladco's concession facilities. Since selling expenses and depreciation and amortization were not shown separately in 2000, the Company has restated the results of operations for 2000 by separately classifying selling expenses, occupancy expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, occupancy and general and administrative expenses have been restated for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Occupancy expenses increased to $3,595,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $2,313,786 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Selling expenses increased to $2,057,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $1,146,962 from the nine months ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,080,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $530,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,567,314 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $919,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expenses increased to 8.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 7.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased to 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense net increased to $536,096 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $315,210 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense in the amount of $110,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was the result of a non-cash amortization of the discount on the Company's Global Capital note. The Company currently does not expect to enter into any further lending arrangements that would involve the amortization of any significant non-cash interest charges. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Loss on sale of assets in the amount of $100,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of assets at the Company's Asheville, North Carolina location in connection with the closing of that location and the consolidation of the Company's two locations in Denver, Colorado into one location. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $128,261 and was the net gain resulting from $419,163 excess in the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (of the Global Capital note retired on August 1, 2001) at the extinguishment date over the proceeds net of $230,833 unamortized discount on the note and $60,069 unamortized loan costs. NET INCOME. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $297,857 compared to net income of $253,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Management attributes this change to: the one-time gain on the extinguishment of the Global Capital note; to the $100,822 net loss on sale of assets incurred during the third quarter; and, to a decrease in revenue caused by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The Company anticipates that net income from existing operations will increase commensurate with the recovery of air travel and with cost savings that result from economies of scale and efficiencies obtained at the operating level that the Company hopes to achieve as it continues to expand its locations. EBITDA. EBITDA increased to $2,413,310 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, from $1,493,950 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This 61.5% increase is related to the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. and increased operating efficiencies. The Company anticipates this trend to continue improving. The Company does not believe that inflation has had an adverse effect on its revenues and earnings. 10 The Company may have additional capital requirements during 2001 and 2002 if the Company wins additional bids or acquires additional airport concession facilities or if the Company finds other suitable acquisition candidates. The Company is continually evaluating other airport concession opportunities, including submitting bid proposals and acquiring existing concession owners and operators. The level of its capital requirements will depend upon the number of airport concession facilities that are subject to bid, as well as the number and size of any potential acquisition candidates that arise. There is no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital to finance its growth or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 REVENUES. The Company's gross revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $7,715,187 compared to $5,704,085 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $2,011,102 or 35.3%. Revenues from concession activities increased $2,053,182 ($7,683,645 as compared to $5,630,463) while food preparation center decreased by $62,398 (none as compared to $62,398) and franchise royalty revenues increased by $5,756 ($16,980 as compared to $11,224). The increase in concession revenues was principally attributable to the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. and the opening of new locations. COST OF GOODS SOLD. The cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $2,243,342 compared to $1,876,529 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased to 29.1% from 32.9%. OPERATING COSTS AND EXPENSES. Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2001 were $5,291,237 compared to $3,589,397 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Payroll expenses increased to $2,447,777 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $1,828,271 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, payroll decreased to 31.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from 32.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in the payroll dollar amount is due to the addition of Gladco's concession facilities. Since selling expenses and depreciation and amortization were not shown separately in 2000, the Company has restated the results of operations for 2000 by separately classifying selling expenses, occupancy expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, occupancy and general and administrative expenses have been restated for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Occupancy expenses increased to $1,202,921 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $841,789 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Selling expenses increased to $744,533 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $426,971 from the three months ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased to $354,465 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $172,524 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $541,541 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $319,842 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, selling expenses increased to 9.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased to 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2000. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense net increased to $161,009 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $54,538 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense in the amount of $23,051 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was a non-cash amortization of the discount on the Global Capital note. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Loss on sale of assets in the amount of $100,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 resulted from the sale of assets at the Company's Asheville, North Carolina location in connection with the Company's closing of that location and consolidation of the Company's two locations in Denver, Colorado into one location. Gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $128,261 and was the net gain resulting from $419,163 excess in the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature (of the Global Capital note retired on August 1, 2001) at the extinguishment date over the proceeds net of $230,833 unamortized discount on the note and $60,069 unamortized loan costs. NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $42,682 compared to net income of $178,076 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Management attributes this change to: the one-time gain 11 on the extinguishment of the Global Capital note; the $100,822 net loss on sale of assets incurred during the third quarter; and, to a decrease in revenue caused by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The Company anticipates that net income from existing operations will increase commensurate with the recovery of air travel and with cost savings that result from economies of scale and efficiencies obtained at the operating level that the Company hopes to achieve as it continues to expand its locations. EBITDA. EBITDA increased to $749,589 for the three months ended September 30, 2001, from $558,001 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This 34.3% increase is related to the acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. and increased operating efficiencies. PART II ITEM 3. On November 11, 2000, the Company arranged for a $2,500,000 line of credit with First National Bank of San Diego bearing interest at 0.25% below the Bank's reference rate. The Bank's reference rate was 6% at September 30, 2001. On August 1, 2001, the Company obtained a $1,200,000 three year note from First National Bank of San Diego bearing interest at 9%, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company's then outstanding 7% Convertible Debentures. This resulted in the reduction of long term debt but an increase in current liabilities due to the $400,000 current portion of the $1,200,000 three year note. At September 30, 2001, this was the main factor causing the Company to be in violation of the covenant of its loan agreements with First National Bank of San Diego requiring the Company to maintain a minimum current ratio of .90:1.00. The Company's current ratio at September 30, 2001 was .71:1.00. First National Bank of San Diego has agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies as a result of that breach and will expect the Company to be in compliance on December 31, 2001. The Company expects to be in compliance by December 31, 2001. ITEM 6. An 8-K containing pro forma financial statements related to the Company's acquisition of Gladco Enterprises, Inc. was filed on October 16, 2001. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
